We are using IPB4 and would like to find members that keep changing IP addresses but within the same subnet.

For example they will begin posting using 12.34.56.100, get banned, and then re-register using 12.34.56.200.

How can we find all members using IPs 12.34.56.*?

I don't think there is a way to search an IP with a wildcard, but you could add a ban filter. Go to Members > Ban Settings and you can add a wildcard for the IP there.

can always add it to your htaccess  ban the whole region .(this is not suggested but does work)

if you use cloudflare they have many options for this aswell.

You can fool it by adding it manually to the URL when you're at the IP Address Lookup page

&ip=127.0.0.

Would search for anything within that range. In your case you would use "12.34.56.". 

The full query string would then look like this

?adsess=<....>&app=core&module=members&controller=ip&ip=12.34.56.

Martin, on behalf of all our staff, thank you very much!

This is no longer working. Is there a new way to search for IPs using a wildcard?
